The model has 15 joints and 13 plate elements. The 3-node (triangular) plate elements are used in the model. The joints 8 and 18 are fixed supports.
Linear static analysis with one (1) load case is performed.
Modulus of Elasticity = 30,000,000 psi
Poisson's Ratio = 0.0
G = 15,000,000 psi
Plate Thickness = 0.50 inches
Span = 20 inches
P = 10 lb. (applied in the negative Z direction at joint 1)
